In Search of the Origins of "Ay"


Seasons pass and times move foreword.  I find myself yet again wandering further west.  I am getting restless.  Being in a home for the past few months has replenished my spirits and given me time to excite my passions.  Though I cant help but look for a place I want to settle down for a while.  There is only so long one can wander without the comforts of a home base.

I am writing this as my buddy Keith and I are headed up to the great state of Canada.  A place where meuse are pets and people dogsled to work.  We are going to Banff mainly in search for the origins of the word “Ay” but also because of the awesome climbing.  Banff is the holy grail of North American ice climbing.  Mark Twight, a famous mountaineer, once described ice climbing near Banff similarly to popping a Viagra and having an orgasm nonstop for days. 

Keith and I have some big plans for the week.  Hope the weather holds.
